Kingsbury, Mary E.(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

The nineteenth-century humorist, Artemus Ward, once said: "It ain't
the things we don't know that get us in trouble. It's the things we know
that ain't so." That pithy statement sums up the value of research to the
library ...

Bush, Margaret(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

How do you like your facilities? What would you like to change?
What other things do you wish you had?" If these questions were asked
of children's librarians and media specialists, chances are that a few
would be ...

Carlson, Dudley B.; Kimmel, Margaret Mary(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

Library materials for children cannot be considered alone, because the
term library has long implied more than a collection of books. It is fitting
that this topic follows papers discussing goals, facilities, staff, ...

Todd, Alexander W., Jr.(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

I must confess that I came to this institute expecting dry dissertations
on the ivory-tower level that would have a sedative effect on me in
short, an opportunity to rest my weary director bones and catch up on
a little ...

Fowler, Bonnie S.(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

For some of you it has probably been quite a few years since you began
as professional librarians, for others it may have been only a few years,
but for me it has been exactly ten months and five days since I began
work ...

Batchelder, Mildred L.(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

From the viewpoint of a beginning librarian who is ten months into a
promising career to that of a retired librarian more than ten years beyond
a professional lifetime's involvement with library services to children ...

Fuller, Carol N.(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

It may appear strange to a group of public library children's librarians
to have a school librarian in their midst; however, elementary school
librarians are children's librarians, too, and I am delighted that the ...

Rollock, Barbara(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

This paper is intended to trace the influences that affect children's services
and to indicate what is and might be included in services to children
in large metropolitan libraries. Children are defined here not as a ...

Kellman, Amy(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

According to Althea Warren in a 1939 report, a "medium-sized" public
library is a library in a town with a population of 35,000 to 100,000.* A more
contemporary statistical definition by Leon Carnovsky and Howard
Winger, ...

Lamont, Bridget L.(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

The purpose of this paper is to discuss both state library agency services
and children's services in small public libraries. I will present my perspective
on some of the realities of these two institutions today and ...

Rollock, Barbara(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

It was remembrance of childhood experiences in the library that prompted
author Bel Kaufman to write in defense of libraries: "It seems to me that
especially now, when there are so many people in our city [New York]
whose ...

Kellman, Amy(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

6 'Children in the library/ stand no longer by your knee./ Children turning
page on page/ are not children, have no age./ Have no heed, no hand to
take;/ go at will, with whom they like." These lines from Norma Farber's
poem ...

Goldhor, Herbert(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

This has been a very worthwhile institute, and it is now my task to summarize
what has been said here. For a number of years I was a public
librarian but never a children's librarian; I am greatly interested in
children's ...

Canney, George F.(Graduate School of Library Science. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign., 1977)

Teaching children to read has been a central focus of our educational
system for over 350 years. Despite the variety of subjects treated in school,
reading usually has been viewed as the most prominent of "the three ...
